Xiao Xiao hasn't fully awakened yet. She was disturbed by the crying and grunted, instinctively burrowing into Wang Wei's arms.

Wang Wei covered her ears, not expecting the cries to get louder. Seeing that Xiao Xiao couldn't go back to sleep due to the disturbance, her eyelashes trembling, about to open her eyes, he felt a sudden surge of anger.

"Stay in bed for a moment," he told Xiao Xiao, and he got up, forcefully pulling open the already shaky door.

Wang Wei stood at the doorway like a protective deity with a low pressure, yelling at the people still making noise in the courtyard, "Making a fuss early in the morning, it seems like you guys have nothing better to do with your mouths!" They were disturbing his wife's sleep.

The people in the courtyard who were quarreling suddenly fell silent. Several crying children also stopped their cries, and the youngest two even hiccuped.

"Laosì, this is none of your business," Wang Juan said, dragging half a bag of grain and facing off with Zhao Yan. She knew that Wang Wei disliked her and was afraid he might join in to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Wang Wei immediately understood. The early morning commotion was undoubtedly caused by this half bag of grain. He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "How much grain you dig from these fools has nothing to do with me, but because of you, my wife didn't sleep well, and that makes it my business." And it's a big deal.

Wang Juan looked at the sky; it was already bright, and the sun had risen. Even if she didn't have a job in the city, she would have been up by now, cooking and doing household chores for her man. Xiao Xiao, sleeping until this time, had no intention of getting up. Did Wang Wei really have the nerve to say she was disturbed in her sleep?

Wang Juan deeply suspected that Wang Wei was just finding fault with her intentionally.

Without Wang Wei's embrace, Xiao Xiao lost her sleepiness. She got up in a daze, walked behind Wang Wei, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, leaned on his back, yawned, and then rubbed her face against his back. "What's going on? Who's crying?"

Wang Juan took a clear look at Xiao Xiao, who obviously had just crawled out of bed. So, was Wang Wei not intentionally causing trouble? Was Xiao Xiao really still sleeping?

Wang Juan's husband went to the factory early every day. She had to get up before dawn to prepare breakfast and take care of household chores. Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, slept until the sun was shining on her buttocks. And Wang Wei protected her like his eyeballs? Last night, she slept with Wang Mu, who even complained that Xiao Xiao didn't cook or wash clothes, and Wang Wei had to do everything.

Living in the city was much more comfortable than her life in the village, Wang Juan admitted to herself.

Wang Juan, having married into the city and becoming a worker's family member, naturally felt superior to the village girls. Seeing Xiao Xiao living such a comfortable life, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Laosì, the sun is already high up, and your wife is still sleeping in bed. She's so lazy. If this gets out, what will people say? Don't you care at all!"

Xiao Xiao, just waking up from her daze, gradually became aware and heard Wang Juan speaking ill of her again. This person was truly hateful.

Zhao Yan, upon hearing Wang Juan's words, immediately put on a look of watching a good show. She used to make sarcastic comments comparing herself to Xiao Xiao, and in the end, she was dealt with by Laosì directly.

Laosì protected Xiao Xiao, just like a mother hen protecting her chick. Whoever dared to peck at Xiao Xiao would face his wrath!

Wang Juan, with her sarcastic and ambiguous remarks about Xiao Xiao, was sure to be dealt with by Wang Wei.
